ac22ba23b6 eCryptfs: Check for O_RDONLY lower inodes when opening lower files
If the lower inode is read-only, don't attempt to open the lower file
read/write and don't hand off the open request to the privileged
eCryptfs kthread for opening it read/write.  Instead, only try an
unprivileged, read-only open of the file and give up if that fails.
This patch fixes an oops when eCryptfs is mounted on top of a read-only
mount.

b0105eaefa eCryptfs: Handle unrecognized tag 3 cipher codes
Returns an error when an unrecognized cipher code is present in a tag 3
packet or an ecryptfs_crypt_stat cannot be initialized.  Also sets an
crypt_stat->tfm error pointer to NULL to ensure that it will not be
incorrectly freed in ecryptfs_destroy_crypt_stat().

382684984e ecryptfs: improved dependency checking and reporting
So, I compiled a 2.6.31-rc5 kernel with ecryptfs and loaded its module.
When it came time to mount my filesystem, I got this in dmesg, and it
refused to mount:

[93577.776637] Unable to allocate crypto cipher with name [aes]; rc = [-2]
[93577.783280] Error attempting to initialize key TFM cipher with name = [aes]; rc = [-2]
[93577.791183] Error attempting to initialize cipher with name = [aes] and key size = [32]; rc = [-2]
[93577.800113] Error parsing options; rc = [-22]

I figured from the error message that I'd either forgotten to load "aes"
or that my key size was bogus.  Neither one of those was the case.  In
fact, I was missing the CRYPTO_ECB config option and the 'ecb' module.
Unfortunately, there's no trace of 'ecb' in that error message.

I've done two things to fix this.  First, I've modified ecryptfs's
Kconfig entry to select CRYPTO_ECB and CRYPTO_CBC.  I also took CRYPTO
out of the dependencies since the 'select' will take care of it for us.

I've also modified the error messages to print a string that should
contain both 'ecb' and 'aes' in my error case.  That will give any
future users a chance of finding the right modules and Kconfig options.

I also wonder if we should:

	select CRYPTO_AES if !EMBEDDED

since I think most ecryptfs users are using AES like me.

aa06117f19 eCryptfs: Fix lockdep-reported AB-BA mutex issue
Lockdep reports the following valid-looking possible AB-BA deadlock with
global_auth_tok_list_mutex and keysig_list_mutex:

  ecryptfs_new_file_context() ->
      ecryptfs_copy_mount_wide_sigs_to_inode_sigs() ->
          mutex_lock(&mount_crypt_stat->global_auth_tok_list_mutex);
          -> ecryptfs_add_keysig() ->
              mutex_lock(&crypt_stat->keysig_list_mutex);

vs

  ecryptfs_generate_key_packet_set() ->
      mutex_lock(&crypt_stat->keysig_list_mutex);
      -> ecryptfs_find_global_auth_tok_for_sig() ->
          mutex_lock(&mount_crypt_stat->global_auth_tok_list_mutex);

ie the two mutexes are taken in opposite orders in the two different
code paths.  I'm not sure if this is a real bug where two threads could
actually hit the two paths in parallel and deadlock, but it at least
makes lockdep impossible to use with ecryptfs since this report triggers
every time and disables future lockdep reporting.

Since ecryptfs_add_keysig() is called only from the single callsite in
ecryptfs_copy_mount_wide_sigs_to_inode_sigs(), the simplest fix seems to
be to move the lock of keysig_list_mutex back up outside of the where
global_auth_tok_list_mutex is taken.  This patch does that, and fixes
the lockdep report on my system (and ecryptfs still works OK).

The full output of lockdep fixed by this patch is:

05dafedb90 ecryptfs: Remove unneeded locking that triggers lockdep false positives
In ecryptfs_destroy_inode(), inode_info->lower_file_mutex is locked,
and just after the mutex is unlocked, the code does:

 	kmem_cache_free(ecryptfs_inode_info_cache, inode_info);

This means that if another context could possibly try to take the same
mutex as ecryptfs_destroy_inode(), then it could end up getting the
mutex just before the data structure containing the mutex is freed.
So any such use would be an obvious use-after-free bug (catchable with
slab poisoning or mutex debugging), and therefore the locking in
ecryptfs_destroy_inode() is not needed and can be dropped.

Similarly, in ecryptfs_destroy_crypt_stat(), crypt_stat->keysig_list_mutex
is locked, and then the mutex is unlocked just before the code does:

 	memset(crypt_stat, 0, sizeof(struct ecryptfs_crypt_stat));

Therefore taking this mutex is similarly not necessary.

Removing this locking fixes false-positive lockdep reports such as the
following (and they are false-positives for exactly the same reason
that the locking is not needed):

ffa9f12a41 module: don't call percpu_modfree on NULL pointer.
The general one handles NULL, the static obsolescent
(CONFIG_HAVE_LEGACY_PER_CPU_AREA) one in module.c doesn't; Eric's
commit 720eba31 assumed it did, and various frobbings since then kept
that assumption.

All other callers in module.c all protect it with an if; this effectively
does the same as free_init is only goto if we fail percpu_modalloc().

26d052bfce param: allow whitespace as kernel parameter separator
Some boot mechanisms require that kernel parameters are stored in a
separate file which is loaded to memory without further processing
(e.g. the "Load from FTP" method on s390). When such a file contains
newline characters, the kernel parameter preceding the newline might
not be correctly parsed (due to the newline being stuck to the end of
the actual parameter value) which can lead to boot failures.

This patch improves kernel command line usability in such a situation
by allowing generic whitespace characters as separators between kernel
parameters.

2fa4341074 include/linux/unaligned/{l,b}e_byteshift.h: fix usage for compressed kernels
When unaligned accesses are required for uncompressing a kernel (such as
for LZO decompression on ARM in a patch that follows), including
<linux/kernel.h> causes issues as it brings in a lot of things that are
not available in the decompression environment.

linux/kernel.h brings at least:
extern int console_printk[];
extern const char hex_asc[];
which causes errors at link-time as they are not available when
compiling the pre-boot environement. There are also a few others:

  arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.o: In function `valid_user_regs':
   arch/arm/include/asm/ptrace.h:158: undefined reference to `elf_hwcap'
  arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.o: In function `console_silent':

  arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.o: In function `pack_hex_byte':
   include/linux/kernel.h:360: undefined reference to `hex_asc'
  arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.o: In function `hweight_long':
   include/linux/bitops.h:45: undefined reference to `hweight32'
  arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.o: In function `__cmpxchg_local_generic':

   include/asm-generic/cmpxchg-local.h:42: undefined reference to `wrong_size_cmpxchg'
  arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.o: In function `__xchg':
   arch/arm/include/asm/system.h:309: undefined reference to `__bad_xchg'

However, those files apparently use nothing from <linux/kernel.h>, all
they need is the declaration of types such as u32 or u64, so
<linux/types.h> should be enough

Module edac_core.ko uses call_rcu() callbacks in edac_device.c, edac_mc.c
and edac_pci.c.

They all use a wait_for_completion() scheme, but this scheme it not 100%
safe on multiple CPUs.  See the _rcu_barrier() implementation which
explains why extra precausion is needed.

The patch adds a comment about rcu_barrier() and as a precausion calls
rcu_barrier().  A maintainer needs to look at removing the
wait_for_completion code.

Add support for the Freescale MPC83xx memory controller to the existing
driver for the Freescale MPC85xx memory controller.  The only difference
between the two processors are in the CS_BNDS register parsing code, which
has been changed so it will work on both processors.

The L2 cache controller does not exist on the MPC83xx, but the OF
subsystem will not use the driver if the device is not present in the OF
device tree.

I had to change the nr_pages calculation to make the math work out.  I
checked it on my board and did the math by hand for a 64GB 85xx using 64K
pages.  In both cases, nr_pages * PAGE_SIZE comes out to the correct
value.

a014554e66 edac: mpc85xx add P2020DS support
Based on Kumar's new compatible types patch, add P2020 into MPC85xx EDAC
compatible lists so that EDAC can recognize P2020 meomry controller and L2
cache controller and export the relevant fields to sysfs.

EDAC MPC85xx DDR3 support is needed if DDR3 memory stick is installed on a
P2020DS board so that EDAC core can recognize DDR3 memory type.

e5a4738699 pidns: deny CLONE_PARENT|CLONE_NEWPID combination
CLONE_PARENT was used to implement an older threading model.  For
consistency with the CLONE_THREAD check in copy_pid_ns(), disable
CLONE_PARENT with CLONE_NEWPID, at least until the required semantics of
pid namespaces are clear.

123be07b0b fork(): disable CLONE_PARENT for init
When global or container-init processes use CLONE_PARENT, they create a
multi-rooted process tree.  Besides siblings of global init remain as
zombies on exit since they are not reaped by their parent (swapper).  So
prevent global and container-inits from creating siblings.

8d65af789f sysctl: remove "struct file *" argument of ->proc_handler
It's unused.

It isn't needed -- read or write flag is already passed and sysctl
shouldn't care about the rest.

It _was_ used in two places at arch/frv for some reason.

156dd635e2 bfin-otp: add writing support
The on-chip OTP may be written at runtime, so enable support for it in the
driver.  However, since writing should really be done only on development
systems, don't bend over backwards to make sure the simple software lock
is per-fd -- per-device is OK.

ae21cf9248 hpet: hpet driver periodic timer setup bug fixes
The periodic interrupt from drivers/char/hpet.c does not work correctly,
both when using the periodic capability of the hardware and while
emulating the periodic interrupt (when hardware does not support periodic
mode).

With timers capable of periodic interrupts, the comparator field is first
set with the period value followed by set of hidden accumulator, which has
the side effect of overwriting the comparator value.  This results in
wrong periodicity for the interrupts.  For, periodic interrupts to work,
following steps are necessary, in that order.

* Set config with Tn_VAL_SET_CNF bit

* Write to hidden accumulator, the value written is the time when the
  first interrupt should be generated

* Write compartor with period interval for subsequent interrupts
  (http://www.intel.com/hardwaredesign/hpetspec_1.pdf )

When emulating periodic timer with timers not capable of periodic
interrupt, driver is adding the period to counter value instead of
comparator value, which causes slow drift when using this emulation.

Also, driver seems to add hpetp->hp_delta both while setting up periodic
interrupt and while emulating periodic interrupts with timers not capable
of doing periodic interrupts.  This hp_delta will result in slower than
expected interrupt rate and should not be used while setting the interval.

dd5d81f326 fs/char_dev.c: remove useless loop
There are two useless lines in fs/char_dev.c.

In register_chrdev there is a loop to change all '/' into '!' in the
kernel object name.
This code is useless as the same substitution is in kobject_set_name_vargs in
lib/kobject.c:
228         /* ewww... some of these buggers have '/' in the name ... */
229         while ((s = strchr(kobj->name, '/')))
230                 s[0] = '!';

kobject_set_name_vargs is called by kobject_set_name.
kobject_set_name is called just above the useless loop.
